Hong Kong is used to strange sights, but none as extraordinary as those served up by the annual All-Asia Science Fiction and Horror Movie festival. The streets are jammed with fans decked out in costumes such as Spiderman, The Green Slime, Star Wars extra-terrestrials, and, most terrifying of all, The Spaceman, who carries a ray gun that proves capable of instantly incinerating real objects, including people. Nothing that Harry Feiffer's cops have confronted before could have prepared them for what they find when they reach the end of The Spaceman's trail of charred bodies.

Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer's Yellowthread Street cops may operate out of a shabby station in the back alleys of Hong Kong, but in their devotion to solving crimes they are as British as the best that Scotland Yard can muster. "These Yellowthread Street books constitute an exotic type of procedural, and Marshall has maintained a high standard in all of them." - The New York Times Book Review
